+## Changes made on the 7.0 branch since 7.0.7
+
+<!-- Insert new items immediately below here ... -->
+
+### Add conditional output (OOPT) to the longout record
+
+The longout record can now be configured using its new OOPT and OOCH fields
+to (not) write to its output link depending on the contents of VAL, in a
+similar manner to the calcout record. More information can be found on the
+reference page for the longout record type that accompanies this release.
+
+This functionality was suggested in
+[lp# 1398215](https://bugs.launchpad.net/epics-base/+bug/1398215) and may
+be added to other output record types if the community finds it useful,
+please send feedback about the feature to tech-talk.
+
+### Tab completion for IOC shell
+
+When built with optional GNU libreadline support, the interactive IOC shell
+will perform tab completion for command names as well as for some arguments
+of the built-in commands. For example, the record name argument of `dbpr`,
+and the path name argument of `cd`.
+
+Externally defined commands have a limited ability to opt into completion by
+using the new `iocshArgStringRecord` and `iocshArgStringPath` argument types.
+Both function identically to `iocshArgString` but indicate how to suggest
+completion strings.
+
+Builds on macOS (darwin-x86 or darwin-aarch64 targets) normally use Apple's
+libedit library in readline compatibility mode, which doesn't support the tab
+completion API that GNU readline provides. You can use Homebrew or some other
+third-party package manager to install the GNU readline package, then edit the
+configure/os/CONFIG_SITE.darwinCommon.darwinCommon file to have EPICS use the
+real thing to get tab completion in the IOC shell. The default settings in that
+file currently look for and use a Homebrew-installed readline if present.
+
+### Add FMOD as CALC Expression
+
+The floating point modulo function `FMOD(NUM,DEN)` has been added to the CALC
+expression engine and is available to all software using that (calc and calcout
+record types, access security library and some extensions).

+### epicsEnvShow accepts glob pattern
+
+The optional argument to epicsEnvShow can now be a glob pattern.
+
+### New function `epicsStrnGlobMatch()`
+
+The function `epicsStrnGlobMatch(char* str, size_t len, char* pattern)`
+works exactly the same as `epicsStrGlobMatch()` but takes an additional
+length arguments which limits the number of characters of `str` to match.
+
+### Glob pattern allowed in `var` command
+
+When used with one argument, the `var` command can be used with a glob pattern
+for printing matching variables.
+
+### Fix for input links marked "special"
+
+The calcout record (and a number of synApps record types) marks its input
+link fields with the attribute `special(SPC_MOD)` and provides code in
+the record's `special()` routine to reinitialize the related value field
+whenever the input link field is set to a numeric constant. Unfortunately the
+changes to the link handling code broke this behaviour (reported as Launchpad
+[bug #1824277](https://bugs.launchpad.net/epics-base/+bug/1824277))
+back in the Base 3.16.1 release. This issue has been fixed in Base, although
+external record types may require some fixing to ensure they are correctly
+checking for and initializing the link in their `special()` routine.

+### Timeouts for Unit Test Programs
+
+The unit test programs that are run by the `make runtests` or `make tapfiles`
+commands get executed by a `.t` wrapper script which is normally generated by
+the EPICS `makeTestfile.pl` program. Those generated wrapper scripts now
+impose a time-limit on the test program they execute, and will kill it if it
+runs for longer than 500 seconds (8 minutes 20) without exiting. That
+time-limit can be changed for any such test by modifying the Makefile which
+creates and runs the `.t` wrapper script.
+
+Setting the environment variable `EPICS_UNITTEST_TIMEOUT` to the desired
+number of seconds while the Makefile is generating the test script changes the
+timeout in that script. For example:
+
+```
+  TESTSCRIPTS_HOST += hourLongTest.t
+  hourLongTest.t: export EPICS_UNITTEST_TIMEOUT=3600
+```
+
+When selecting such a timeout remember that different Continuous Integration
+systems such as GitHub Actions and Appveyor run on processors with different
+speeds, so allow enough head-room for slower systems to complete the test.
+
+Test programs written directly in Perl as a `.plt` script should implement a
+similar timeout for themselves. The "netget" test in Base does this in a way
+that works on Windows as well as Unix-like hosts.
